Is It Normal For Toddler To Pass Out When Crying Too Hard?

My daughter. is 17 month old she has had occasional periods when she passes out when crying too hard. It is always brought on from her being angry or upset. She holds her breath, ,also. The whole breath-holding and passing out lasts only a few seconds. Afterwards, she will be sleepy and cry for 10 - 15 minutes. Then she is back to normal. Is this normal? Is this more serious than simply holding her breath?

Hello,

Yes, it is normal, obviously increase abdominal pressure will cause stool to pass. Try to keep the baby calm as much as you can.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
